| no partners | | Led a hike for the Estrella Mountain Warriors hiking group this morning at Estrella Mountain Regional Park. Only one taker, Christine, joined me for a counter clockwise loop from the Nature Center on Quail, Rainbow Valley, Dysart, Toothaker, Connector to Baseline, Baseline, Saddle back down to Quail, and Quail to the Nature Center.
I asked at the ranger station upon entry why they were writing down annual pass numbers instead of just typing them into the computer. The attendant told me the park system migrated the pass system to a new platform which reassigned all pass holders a new ID. So, they have to write down your old number, then look it up and type in your new number. She wrote my new number on my pass, so it will save them a step on future visits. And, while speaking of Maricopa County annual passes, the county will vote Dec 10th on whether to raise the annual fee from $85 to $120. The new rate will take effect on Jan 1st. |

, but no wildlife on the trail. The trails were busier than I anticipated for a midday, midweek hike: 10 hikers.

Had the trails to myself, but I did quite a few small lizards and a couple of road runners. That's always a treat
